Podcasts about Yamatji

Reflecting on a year of phenomenal guests, we are bringing you a selection of the Best Conversations of 2024.Ken Wyatt was the first Indigenous minister for Indigenous Affairs. When he made his first speech to parliament, he wore a kangaroo skin cloak given to him by Noongar elders in Perth and he shared with his government colleagues the extraordinary journey he took from a boy in a remote Western Australian settlement, to Canberra. Ken Wyatt has Yamatji, Wongi and Noongar ancestry. He came into the world as a premature baby on a mission south of Perth called Roelands Farm, run by the Protestant Church.From 1938 to 1973, Roelands housed more than 500 forcibly removed Aboriginal children from all over Western Australia. One of those children was Ken's mother Mona, who was separated from family at just 4 years old.Mona married Don and they built a life for themselves away from Roelands, in Nannine, a railway fettler's camp in remote WA. That's where Ken grew up, as one of 10 children.Ken went on to enjoy a fulfilling life as a teacher, and he was in his fifties when he decided to have a tilt at politics.He joined the Liberal Party, and in 2010 he was elected as the first Aboriginal member of the House of Representatives.Wearing a kangaroo skin cloak given to him by Noongar elders in Perth, Ken made his first speech in Federal Parliament, about his extraordinary journey from Roelands to Canberra.This episode of Conversations contains discussions about Indigenous peoples, Australian history, Aboriginal history, Indigenous Australians, Aboriginal Policy, Australian Politics, Indigenous Policy, Indigenous Affairs, Australian Government, federal ministers, Minister for Indigenous Affairs, Western Australia, racism, Aboriginal missions, school teachers, mentors, political campaigns, elections, Indigenous Voice to Parliament, referendum, retirement, marriage, families.

On today's Accent of Women, we look at the campaign to close Unit 18, a child detention wing inside the maximum-security Casuarina Prison near Perth in Western Australia. The campaign escalated in the wake of the tragic death of Yamatji child Cleveland Dodd in 2023 after he self-harmed while incarcerated in the facility. Earlier this month, it was revealed that another child detained at the Banksia Hill Detention Centre, also near Perth, had died by suicide. 3CR's Priya Kunjan interviews Roxy Moore, Noongar lawyer, community organiser, activist and campaigner, and Stephanie McGuire, Ballardong and Whadjuk Noongar community organiser and activist. For listeners, I want to issue a CONTENT WARNING for today's show. Today's show mentions SUICIDE, SELF HARM, DISCUSSION OF ABORIGINAL DEATHS IN CUSTODY.

James begins the conversation by asking Sabrina about her connection to the ocean.//  Nerita Waight, CEO of the Victorian Aboriginal Legal Service, takes us through VALS' response to this year's federal budget. While the budget included funding for a suite of family violence-related reforms, the wellbeing of Aboriginal women and children were shamefully neglected despite a dire need for culturally safe legal support and representation.

Aunty Rhonda Collard-Spratt is a member of the stolen generations. Four generations of her family were stolen. She grew up under segregation and government control in Western Australia as part of the White Australia Policy and away from her family and without any human rights. She shares her personal story of survival, recovery through writing children's books, creating art and poetry. We chat about her latest children's book Old Nana Quokka and its themes of caring for country, environment and our elders. The beautifully illustrated and crafted book helps younger children to understand and learn about our Australian animals, aboriginal storytelling and how if we look after Country, it will look after us. We yarn about Naidoc Week, and why it is so important for all Australians; the devastating impacts of being stolen; about racism and truth telling. Aunty Rhonda says “it's hard to speak about and hard for people to hear, but we need to hear.” We need to strengthen our youth and have a strong voice and advocacy for our people. I ask Aunty Rhonda her thoughts on the Indigenous Voice to Parliament, and what our Indigenous Elders think. Speaking with Aunty Rhonda is always an extraordinary experience. It is full of insights into our first nations peoples, of learning, of stories that support understanding, wisdom and build a strong connection with our country.

Can Australia's “dreaming beauty” – our Indigenous languages – be reclaimed? Meet some people who say a joyful yes.   ---   250 years ago, hundreds of languages were spoken across this continent; today, only about 3 percent survive.   What happened in between is a familiar and harrowing story of dispossession – of land, lives, and culture – including a story of linguicide, or the deliberate killing of language.   Is it possible to revive a language that has been long dormant – that has “gone to sleep on country”, as Charmaine Councillor, a Wardandi-Balladong woman heavily involved in the revival of the Noongar language of southwestern WA, puts it?   In this bumper episode of Life & Faith, Charmaine and her Yamatji colleague Roslyn Khan describe what their language means to them, what the process of learning or relearning it has been like, and how they go about reviving Noongar – including by translating the Bible.   “It's like when you're riding a bike for the first time, and you've got your training wheels on – then all of a sudden you're taking off down the road and then you forget about how you're riding the bike, you're just riding it and enjoying it. That's where I am at the moment, I'm getting to the part where I'm really enjoying it and start speaking it more.”  We also hear from Ghil'ad Zuckermann, Professor of Endangered Languages at the University of Adelaide, an Israeli linguist who has been using the work of a 19th-century German missionary to help the Barngarla people of South Australia reclaim their language.  “Aboriginal people who reconnect with their heritage tongue, they feel totally empowered … I would argue that language reclamation can improve the diabetes problem among Aboriginal people. We do need to change our understanding of Aboriginal culture; there are billions or if not trillions of dollars being wasted by the government on tangible things, and I think that there is a total overlook of the intangible. Language is intangible, you cannot touch it. But I think that this intangible element can have a huge benefit when it comes to tangible elements.”   ---  Explore:  The Story of Ruth in Noongar  Gospel of Luke in Noongar/English  Ghil'ad Zuckermann's book Revivalistics: From the Genesis of Israeli to Language Reclamation in Australia and Beyond 

Vigils have been held nationwide in memory of 15-year-old Noongar and Yamatji boy Cassius Turvey, who died after he was allegedly attacked while walking home from school with friends in Perth.

"My experience in the army recruit training was pretty hard. I went to Kapooka in 1970. There was a little bit of racial discrimination there from one person but when I went into the infantry training, I didn't get any, and in the battalion, I joined. Nothing whatsoever. No discrimination. It was all one family. In Vietnam we were all the same. We were all brothers and we still are at the moment." - Graham Taylor

On this weekend of the Garma Festival (July 2022) in the Northern Territory we share an Indigenous story of resilience and strength. Aunty Rhonda Collard-Spratt is a member of the stolen generations. Four generations of her family were stolen. She grew up under segregation and government control in Western Australia as part of the White Australia Policy away from her family and without any human rights. She shares her personal story of survival, resilience and recovery through writing children's books, creating art and poetry. We chat about her latest children's book Bobtail's Friend – From the Desert to the Sea which was inspired by Aunty Rhonda's own experiences. It has themes around bullying and racism which are conveyed in a way that children can understand. The beautifully illustrated and crafted book helps younger children to understand and learn about inclusivity and the importance of speaking up when you see someone being treated differently. We yarn about her book Alice's Daughter – Lost Mission Child and the devastating impacts of being stolen; about racism and truth telling. Aunty Rhonda says “it's hard to speak about and hard for people to hear, but we need to hear.” We need to strengthen our youth and have a strong voice and advocacy for our people. Speaking with Aunty Rhonda was an extraordinary experience full of learning, being taught and sharing.

As Nyoongar Country morphs into Yamatji Country, off the coast of the small port town of Geraldton in Western Australia, there lies an archipelago of 122 islands and coral reefs known as Houtmans Abrohlos. Home to Australia's largest single species fishery, the Western Rock Lobster industry, the fishermen who drive this $500 million industry have grown their isolated community of colourful fibro shacks since the early 1900s—but times have never been harder. In recent years, the pandemic and a shifting political landscape has decimated the industry, forcing many fishermen to empty their cray-pots back into the ocean and find alternate income streams, including continued exporting through unofficial ‘grey channels'. Woven into the background of this contemporary geopolitical story is a history of shipwrecks, mutiny, sunken treasure and brutal survival. However before any tall ships arrived, the Yamatji and Nyoongar people told stories that go back tens of thousands of years, stories of crayfish and Country that go back to the Dreaming… Come hear some of those stories, and learn about the past, present and future of traditional crayfishing on Sea and Country.

Heywire winner Emma, Geraldton, WA, Yamatji country

In 2019, a 29-year-old Yamatji woman – known as JC – was homeless, suffering from poor mental health and walking through Geraldton holding a kitchen knife, when the police were called. Sixteen seconds after a police officer began to approach her, she was shot and later died. Last month a jury found the officer not guilty of both murder and manslaughter. Laura Murphy-Oates speaks to ABC reporter Rebecca Trigger and Noongar human rights lawyer Hannah McGlade about the life of JC, and what happened in those 16 seconds

Friday 20 September 2019 7am intro & acknowledgement of country 702am News: The global Climate strike is today and it is going to be massive. The Sydney branch of the MUA will be walking off the job to support the strike. Some 2000 businesses are supporting the strike or allowing their workers to attend. Disappointingly, Hunter workers withdrew support for the Newcastle climate strike after being lobbied by the mining union.720am Jacob and Zane speak with Moreland councillor Sue Bolton about the council's decision to implement a policy of "hostile architecture" in Coburg mall. Armrests were installed in the middle of benches commonly used by people sleeping rough under the guise of improved disability access, without a decision from council. However some local traders lobbied Bolton and clearly viewed the purpose of the handrails not as improving disability access but as repelling people who are sleeping rough.Councillor Bolton later voted for an amended motion to remove the handrails from three of the five benches where they had been installed, which passed, and told 3CR the way to address homelessness is to provide housing, not implement "hostile architecture".745am Jacob and Zane speak with Sophie L'estrange from Melbourne Activist Legal Support about last Saturday's Extinction Rebellion blockade of the Princes bridge, adjacent to Flinders st. Station. The police response to the protest was unusual and regressive in that people were prevented from joining the protest once it began, and the media were also banned from entering the protest area to document it. Mounted Horses were also mobilised in an oppressive display of force.L'estrange told Green Left Radio that being able to freely attend peaceful protests is a democratic right in Australia and the police were out of line, from a legal perspective, in blocking access. Moreover, by excluding the media from covering the protest a dangerous dynamic emerges where it is harder to document and expose any violence the police may use against peaceful protestors. MALS are currently running a fundraiser to get resources that will boost their effectiveness, and are always looking for volunteers to assist them.8am activist calendar 806am music: "Climate Strike" by Zanes band When Our Turn Comes810am News:-A victory as climate change, intergenerational equity cited as reasons to reject Bylong coal mine after hard fought campaign waged over many years.-West Papua: calls for Australia and the USA to cease training Indonesian military who are being deployed to repress West Papua independence protestors.-Canada: Prime Minister Justin Trudeau rightly criticised for wearing racist blackface makeup, but many of those outraged have had nothing to say about his government's support for pipelines and tar sand oil extraction on first nations land and Canadian arms exports to the despotic Saudi regime.-Yamatji woman shot dead by police officer in Geraldton, WA. Yamatji community is outraged by this latest in a long line of killings of Aboriginal  people by police.-Jock Palfreeman may be coming home to Australia after a Bulgarian court granted him parole. Palfreeman was imprisoned in 2007 after a man was killed when Palfreeman jumped in to assist a Roma person being attacked by racist goons.-Australian Liberty Alliance announces piss poor "counter protest" against climate strike which involves students staying in school rather than attending.

In an all-new episode of Curtain The Podcast, Hosts Amy McQuire and Martin Hodgson discuss the way the police and the justice system treat Aboriginal Women, on the day a 29-year-old Yamatji woman and Mother was shot dead by police. From the 29 years of racist inaction by authorities following the disappearance of Colleen Walker, to the death in custody of Ms Maher and the horrific treatment of Jody Gore currently in a prison in WA for defeneding herself, Australian society has the blood of Aboriginal Women on its hands!
